macOS vs. Windows - What kernels tell you about security events: Part 2

This post continues this two-part blog series on further understanding the differences between macOS and Windows on the system level for effective endpoint security analysis. In Part 1, we covered process events. Here in Part 2, we’ll discuss file and network events. As with Part 1, my hope is to help cybersecurity professionals expand and enrich their experiences on a less familiar platform, ultimately helping them to be better prepared to face differences from past experiences.

The growing importance of endpoint security monitoring

Indeed, with millions of employees now working from remote locations and new services being rolled out to support them, the traditional security perimeter has vanished before our eyes. This has created a significant challenge for the security teams tasked with defending their organisations against threats – a challenge made even harder when the tactics and techniques of cybercriminals are constantly evolving.

PCI Audit Interview Questions

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) defines the framework for protecting cardholder data. The framework was developed by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) and enables organizations to assess how well they are protecting cardholder data, training staff, and conducting PCI DSS audits. PCI compliance and accepting credit cards go hand in hand.

Types of DDoS attacks explained

Distributed denial of service (DDoS) is a broad class of cyberattack that disrupts online services and resources by overwhelming them with traffic. This renders the targeted online service unusable for the duration of the DDoS attack. The hallmark of DDoS attacks is the distributed nature of the malicious traffic, which typically originates from a botnet—a criminally-controlled network of compromised machines spread around the globe.

Zero Trust security model explained: what is Zero Trust?

This blog was written by a third party author Zero Trust is a cybersecurity model with a tenet that any endpoint connecting to a network should not be trusted by default. With Zero Trust, everything and everyone— including users, devices, endpoints —must be properly verified before access to the network is allowed.
